As we get closer to our begin date for Gold, we have been distilling it down to the essence of so many things. Worth is really about ownership of Self. Trusting the self. And moving deeper into that trust and intuition with every once of our being. What a simple concept, right? It’s more of a life’s work and practice than anything else. We bring it down to Worth because it seems that with the owning of worth, areas of self-esteem, self-care, self-love begin to happen organically. When we figure out how damn important we are {and not in an entitled kind of way, but a self actualized kind of way} we just create the space to care for ourselves and others;…

You carry your worth so gracefully and powerfully. It’s hard *not* to notice how you own your wild creativity in the arts and in business. Were you just born like that? Or did you have to re-learn how utterly radiant of a being you are and re-teach yourself that you are worth showing up in your power? First of all, thank you! That is such a nice reflection. Making art has always been my go-to happy place. I do believe I was born with this innate and insatiable desire to create, so whether it was seaweed jewelry, clay pots or paintings, I always had my hands in a creative project as a kid. Thankfully, I also had parents and teachers that encouraged…

Have you always had a strong sense of your worth? I think deep down, yes. But like any diamond in the rough or undiscovered gold mine- I’m still excavating that self worth. I think self worth builds up overtime. As we grow and mature. Our life experiences can either encourage a strong sense of self worth or destroy it and I am too stubborn to let anything destroy my worth. Did it come easy and natural for you or have you had to cultivate your sense of self worth? My garden of self worth has been a mess of rocks and weeds. I’ve had to add a lot of good shit to the soil in order to get things growing. And continual care of…

1. Being a glorious divine self care mentor, what does worth have to do with self care? Is it a result of self-care? Or something that must be owned before one can care for the self? Or do they just happen together? I’ve thought about this question often, especially with the women I work with both on retreats and in my programs. I’ve wondered … do you need to generate a bit of self-worth to truly take deep soul level care of your mind, body and soul. Or, is it that you need to have a full well of self-worth in order to awaken the confidence to own your time, your voice and your truth so you can CLAIM what you need. …

If anything, what stands between you and your worth? What are the stories you tell yourself that often stop you from fully owning your worth? Hmm. It’s an interesting question about worth, because what immediately comes up for me is another question: what is worth & what is value? So, maybe I’ll start with a finer distinction for myself here between the two. Value is more something that you offer to other people, while worth is something I experience internally. For whatever reasons, I think I’ve always had a pretty good sense of my worth. My bigger struggle has been with expressing the value of the potential self I feel pressing inside me. There’s an apocryphal quote from Leonardo da Vinci on his…

There’s such a deep sense of purpose emanating from you as though your worth is so intricately tied up with your mission that having a clear and strong relationship to your worth is a non-negotiable. Is this so? Well I appreciate that, first of all. Knowing that you feel the resonance between my work and my soul. That alignment is my mission. I seek to help people facilitate a deep connection with their innermost knowing and from there, to trust it deeply enough to act upon it. As long as we’re mortal (and as far as I know, we all are) our sense of worth will waiver. It’s human nature to question and doubt ourselves, our power, our work, our actions, our…

A few years ago the surprise of a serious illness cracked me wide open. My entire existence was thrown into question and surviving because the most important work of any day. Yet again in this life, I was faced with the unanswerable question of: why did this happen to me? The shadowy parts I thought I had so well managed, the parts I had labeled “victim” or “weak” and tucked into dark recesses, seemed to raise their voices in choruses of blame, mistrust and fear. And the louder they shouted, the more I became aware that this was no sudden shift, but the deeper voice of self-shame, self-doubt, self-questioning that had been whispering through my life as long as I could remember.…
